Should be around to post at least once per day for the next week or so
While I'm aware it's like 11:00 in the morning in-game, in Coyote-land, time is a flat circle. Also, for reference.
Terry Reid - "May Fly"
Big Country - "You Dreamer"
Jets To Brazil - "Sea Anemone"
Out of curiosity, how much in-game time has passed since the ooze fight? Trying to figure out how long it will take for Alessia's rage to recharge, and if any of the elapsed time counts as "rest."
I accepted the invitation, and I think I've mostly figured out how the thing works-- I've used it before, but not in a long time. As far as texting goes, I can receive regular texts, but I don't have a smartphone, so sending texts is a little tricky, and I can't send or open attachments. Outside of Messenger and Discord, e-mail is one of my go-to options for contact.
Yep, driving the plot by just being her Speaking of which, I've been thinking a bit: DM spoiler: If there's a boss fight at the end of the whole "destroy the mummy lord" story arc, this might not be a terrible time to do the thing we talked about last year, i.e. the thing with the new stat block and the concept art I sent you. Thoughts?
Heh. At least you get to retire I know, right? We've also been getting slammed at work the past couple weeks, and the massive amounts of rain haven't been helping the excavations go any quicker. I do apologize for being slow to post--I check the thread every day, but on top of my being exhausted, my character a) doesn't talk much to begin with, and b) is going through a rage-induced mental breakdown. I will try to do better with keeping the action moving, though.
Plus, I’m not sure what’s going on but i haven’t been able to get on the site a lot this week. At least when I have been able to tryFew inexplicable outages i have seen as well. Yeah, lots of 502 Bad Gateway errors...
Just want to say still here but having a bit of writers block on what to post I know the feeling all too well.
Eve 6 - "Here's To The Night"
Bridge Under Fire - "Jimmy" (The Action! cover)
The Mountain Goats - "Autoclave"
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - "Death Is Not The End"
Pedro The Lion - "It'll All Work Out"
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - "East Hastings"
Goodnight Forever - "Wake Up"
The Andrea Doria - "Dammit Jim, I'm A Doctor Not A Diesel Mechanic"
It never fails-- any day I end up having to work late, that's when everyone decides to post...
He might need the assistance of someone who is immune to necromantic energy tho I mean, sure, but she might need someone to calm her down first...
Also, this isn't directly game-related, but it's kind of Planescape-y, and I couldn't think of anywhere else to share this:
But did I mention that Justin really needs to work on his impulse control? Just wait until he finds the Head of Vecna.
Seconded. There's a reason I've stuck around these games even after ditching the rest of the forums. There have been times when Silver Rose has been the only thing keeping me going.
If that happens and you guys end up writing something, I'll do the cover art for free.
Okay, start looking for handles or knockers!
relevant On tonight's episode of Stargate SG-1, starring Hamar as Teal'c, Justin as Daniel Jackson, and Alessia as a backpack full of C-4...
lol. New England is such a weird place Iowa's a good place, but not a day goes by that I don't miss the Northeast.
Right after I posted, I checked YouTube and saw that Dime Store Adventures just dropped this video...
I’m sorry folks, but it has been a very bad start to 2025. In a lot of ways Oddly enough, I was literally moments away from posting something to the effect of "Has anyone heard anything from Patrick lately?"
This winter kind of f!%$ed me up, but I'm still here.
Man... I just watched Ghostbusters on VHS for the first time in at least a decade. Now I'm all fired up...
Sadly I don't think any of those kitties are hanging in there anymore. I mean, there could be taxidermy involved...
I was diving down that rabbit hole a bit when I went to see what the library would look like. The statue of Pollyanna was a nice bonus. Now I just have to figure out WTF creepy supernatural thing it does, lol >:) I mean... sometimes a creepy statue of an early 20th century children's book character is just a creepy statue of an early 20th century children's book character. By the way, on the subject of oddball New England history, have you ever checked out Dime Store Adventures on YouTube?
A small bit of trivia: the Littleton library (and by extension, the Halifax library, I guess) is one of the famous Carnegie libraries. My first semi-real job was processing and shelving returned books at a Carnegie library, the Black Watch Memorial Library in Ticonderoga, New York. There's also a Carnegie library a couple blocks from my apartment here in Iowa, which houses a small exhibit featuring some of the notebooks and WWI flying kit of James Norman Hall.
I'm still around. Welcome to the "lost 50 pounds" club.
Yes. That includes living vicariously through my toon in THIS thread! :) I'm with you. PbPs are pretty much the only creative outlet I have left these days.
Anyone else still around?
Anyone still around?
Re: Korean War.. I strongly recommend This Kind Of War, by T.R. Ferrenbach. I'll put it on the list. Jocko Willink has recommended several books on the subject on his podcast, and I've added a few to my list of future purchases, including Colder Than Hell, by Joseph R. Owen, and Valleys of Death, by Bill Richardson and Kevin Maurer. So far, the only one I've bought and read has been About Face, by David Hackworth-- only the first third or so covers Korea, but I really got a lot out of the book as a whole.

Currently on my annual hunting trip, so internet access will be spotty until after this weekend. Still keeping an eye on my PbP threads, though.
"How did you go bankrupt?" "Two ways," Mike said. "Gradually, then suddenly."
Going to be missing the final couple sessions of Dark Souls (D&D 5e) due to my annual hunting trip, but I have to say, the group has really gotten their shit together for this game. When we were playing Pathfinder, most of my fellow players were playing their characters like knuckleheads, but with the increased difficulty and focus on combat, everyone's really starting to think strategically and work as a team. Last session was the first time since starting the module that no one died (note: dying is a game mechanic, so it's not quite as big a deal as it would be in PF), and we took out a tough mini-boss that was not pulling any punches. Also, massive props to the guy running the sessions-- It's his first time as DM, and he's pretty new to RPGs in general, but he's taken to it really quickly. Granted, he's running a published module now, but he's gotten familiar enough with the rules that he's written up a homebrew that's all queued up for us at some point after this one is done.
Well, I'm about to cook up the one undersized squash we got from the garden this year... We planted seven plants, but the squash bugs were horrible this year, and all of them died. Let's see how this goes.
"Always be ready to speak your mind, and a base man will avoid you."
I am watching video of two experts speaking about what is wrong with James Bond's pee-pee in Dr. No... Oh, hey, I subscribe to that channel... Ian McCollum is pretty great.
Still here, still up for the side quest.
"It should be kind of a giveaway that you've made a not ideal military procurement decision when your sniper scope has a picture of a groundhog on it."
I'm all for hyper-optimizing, as long as there's a solid character/RP concept backing it up and you're not playing like a jerk.
Now you’ve got me curious. There are so many of all y’all that I’m not sure how I’d model where most Americans live (everyone in California and New England?), but using the factoid that 90% of us live within 100 km of the border, a back-of-the-envelope estimate for where most of us live gives me a pop. density of about 100 Canucks/sq. mile, on average, I think.
So far, the Dark Souls tabletop game has been surprisingly fun, with a few caveats. Spoiler: The good: - Using a single resource pool for your health, spells, and action points, as well as your experience points pool also being your money, leads to some really interesting resource-management decisions. (Do I cast a spell, or do I want to save my hp in case I get hit next round? Do I want to level up, or buy a new set of armor?) - When you die (which happens at least once or twice per session), you respawn at the nearest save area, like in a video game, but you lose all of your unspent experience points. Again, resource & risk management is a theme here, and it's actually super engaging. The bad:
The head-scratcher:
"Politics is the entertainment branch of industry."
Game night tomorrow, hopefully. Last time was our first session of Dark Souls, what with the GM for Star Wars pretty consistently flaking out. Aside from that, most of my time has been getting eaten up by working overtime, but I managed to talk a buddy of mine into teaching me how to weld after I get off work every day. 8 hours of lessons in, and I've finally progressed to "extreme beginner."
